The song talks about a man tired of the monotonous life in the city, in that moment he wants to live his life, he wants to feel the air in his lungs and perhaps to travel to Paris.

The song was performed 8th on the night, following Denmark's Bamses Venner with "Tænker altid på dig" and preceding Switzerland's Paola with "Cinéma". At the close of voting, it had received 47 points, placing 10th in a field of 19.

It was succeeded as Swedish representative at the 1981 contest by Björn Skifs with "Fångad i en dröm".

During the performance the cable was accidentally plugged out of Tomas Ledin's microphone. He just made it to plug it in before the start of the second verse.
